Hello! I have been referred for a biopsy of my enlarged tonsil. I've been told this will be done in clinic with a local anesthetic (usually a spray). Has anyone had one of these before? Just wondering what to expect.
Thanks so much!

Hi Riverdale,
I hope this information we have about the different types of biopsy that are carried out in the mouth/throat will help but if you'd like to find out more from one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to help.
Hopefully some of our members who have had this procedure will let you know about their experiences soon as well.
I hope your biopsy goes well Riverdale and the results bring good news.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
